Do you think this is a joke?

Telling people to hurt themselves

Pointing out their every flaw

Making fun of the way they look

Or the way they speak


You never know what is going on in someone’s life

Parents beating them at home

Classmates calling them names at school

Getting cyber bullied online

This is not a joke!


All they think about is how to prevent this situation

From going any further

Maybe a good friend, but who would be friends with someone like that

Maybe someone to talk to, but who would listen

Maybe fighting back, but then what am I?

A bully?


People watch this happen in the hallway

But do they do anything about it?

No!

They feel like it's none of their business

Or the victim can deal with it by themselves


But what they don’t realize is that

The victim is so weak from not eating

Or they are too scared of what the bully would do next

To do anything about it

People just walk by this like nothing ever happened

This is not a joke!
